Shiro Cosmetics Cornucopia & Champion

I have recently discovered Shiro Cosmetics, and let me tell you, I am already in love.

My first run I splurged and bought nineteen of their eyeshadows. Yeah, I know, I really don't go half-assed into anything, do I?

I got them last week, but was in the middle of a ridiculous cold and rubbing my eyes constantly, so I have not been able to try any until now.

Today I was going out and doing Errandry and Adulting, so I decided that in protest of having to act like a Real Adult I would actually wear makeup.

I'm wearing my Winchester Bros. World Tour shirt today (available at Red Bubble), which is a black shirt with a nice orange and red color-scheme going on, so I decided to try out Cornucopia, a gorgeous golden yellow, and Champion, whch is a really nice red.

e.l.f. Studio Eye Primer & Liner Sealer is on under all the eyeshadows, and L'oreal Voluminous Million Lashes Mascara in Blackest Black. I will do a post on at least the mascara later, because my feelings about it should not take over this post.

Pardon the blurriness in some of the pictures, please. Not only am I working with a camera phone but I am basically blind without my glasses, so it's hard to tell what's a good shot or not until I'm done.






Closeups under the jump.


This is a closeup of how it looked immediately after, with the flash on my phone on. It didn't blend as well as I had hoped, but I think that was more to do with my crappy mirror and sight than the makeup itself, as it has this small amount of orange in the middle right where they overlap the most.



And seven hours later, with the flash on my phone on once again.



The rest of these are taken seven hours after application, without flash. You only get one eye because I am not actually completely over my cold, apparently, and smudged the shit out of the top of it. Even with that, though, it held up very well and I was super impressed.







All in all, I am madly in love with Cornucopia. I had high hopes, but was not expecting much, because I don't generally like yellows, but this color is just so beautiful I cannot help but be ridiculously impressed. I'm probably going to use this a lot and cry very hard when it's out.

I like Champion quite a bit, but it reminds me a lot of Milani I Heart You (602). Shiro describes it as a "pure bold crimson with light shimmer" but mine is distinctly more of a pinkish red without the flash on my phone. Champion looks incredibly vivid under the flash, but the color as it appears IRL looks more like the pictures taken without the flash. With the flash it looks the red I had hoped it would, but sadly I cannot walk around with a flash held to my eyes all day.
